WHITESTAR SIGNATURE PRO System FUSION Fluidics Phaco 5 • Program Settings FUSION Fluidics Phaco is an intelligent vacuum monitoring system that regulates the maximum allowable vacuum that follows an occlusion of the phaco tip. When the phaco tip becomes occluded, the vacuum rises. Clearing of the occlusion while the vacuum is at a high-level can cause a post-occlusion surge.
WHITESTAR SIGNATURE PRO System 5 • Program Settings Figure 5.14 – Phaco Surgical Screen with Occlusion and CASE On Occlusion Mode Settings With Occlusion Mode, you can set different aspiration rates for occluded aspiration as opposed to unoccluded aspiration. You can set a different vacuum rise time for when the phaco tip occludes without changing the aspiration rate through an unoccluded needle. To set the occluded aspiration rate thresholds: 1. Press Phaco. 2. Press Settings. 3.
